"In light of my physical condition, I am often asked the age-old question, 'How can an all-powerful God of love allow you to suffer in this way? Surely the Bible says that God always does what is right? Yes it does - and He does! I have come to see that suffering is one of the many ways in which God demonstrates His unfailing love to those who have come to put their trust in Him. Writing out of His own painful experience, the Psalmist says, 'It was good for me to be afflicted, so that I might learn Your decrees' (Psalm 119:71) -- and I gladly endorse every word of that testimony. "Among other things, suffering empties us of pride and self-dependence, and makes us realize our complete dependence upon God. When we reach the point where we have nowhere to turn except to God, we begin to get a clearer view of who and what He is. Day by day, I am discovering more and more of His wisdom, love and grace. I am also finding that God's power is made perfect in my weakness, and that 'when I am weak, then I am strong' (2 Corinthians 12:10) "Jesus went through appalling suffering, physical, mental and spiritual, yet at the end of it all He was to 'see the light of life and be satisfied' (Isaiah 53:11). I count it a privilege to experience in some small way 'the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings' (Philippians 3:10) Although I am bedridden, struggle to breathe comfortably, and often have to contend with painful bed sores, I count them as 'light and momentary troubles' (2 Corinthians 4:17). For all the difficulties they cause, I know that they are achieving for me 'an eternal glory that far outweighs them all' (2 Corinthians 4:17) How trivial they will all seem in the light of the eternal bliss that awaits God's children in the world to come!" --Johnny Farese |

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we have been making plans for the memorial service for Johnny Farese a concern has been whether we would be able to hold all of the people who might attend in our church facility. Our facility is limited in its capacity to 400 people. This may be enough, however, it very easily may not. There is no way to predict with certainty. Therefore in order to avoid any possible inconveniences the location of the memorial service has been changed. Nearby Spanish River Church has agreed to allow us to use their worship auditorium for the memorial. The auditorium seats far more than we will probably need but it should seat all who would like to come. After the service refreshments will be served at our own facility for those who would like to travel over for a time of fellowship. The service is still planned for Friday, March 28 at 7pm. We are also still planning to live stream the service from this location for those would like to observe by internet. Spanish River church is located on the southwest corner of Yamato Road and St. Andrews Boulevard in Boca Raton. Further directions are given below.
